The Audio Book Club Live in Seattle!

Dan, Hanna, and Hugh Howey on Slaughterhouse-Five and the legacy of Kurt Vonnegut.

This month Slate’s Audio Book Club hits the road for a live show at Town Hall Seattle. Dan Kois, Hanna Rosin, and special guest star Hugh Howey (Wool) discuss Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel of war and space aliens, Slaughterhouse-Five. The trio discuss Vonnegut’s deep depression, the way Billy Pilgrim’s travels through time mimic the vagaries of memory, and the nature of fan fiction —especially in relation to Howey’s story set in the “Vonnegut world,” “Peace in Amber.” Listen along!
